Michael Tappenden
Author
Pegasus to Paradise

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

Based on a true story. The early hours of 6 June 1944 and Corporal Ted Tappenden lands as part of a glider-borne force to attack and secure vital bridges in Normandy, the first Allied action of D-Day. He returns from the war, somehow unscathed and a hero but as he tries to resume normal life with his young wife and family he is haunted by the terrors of battle. The initial euphoria is soon damaged by his inability to reveal the horror of his experiences and soon the family is struggling to survive. An ode to the extraordinary efforts of ordinary men and women in World War II, and a social commentary on the lives of real people in post-war England from the grey fifties with the horse-drawn baker's van and the black footprints of the coalman to a people emerging from the devastation of war. Above all it is a moving portrait of trauma, survival, humour and the power of love.
